"It's not registered or tagged and inspected".
That is the problem. You can move it every five minutes for 3 days straight, but unless you register the car you can be towed away or cited for breaking city codes and ordinances.

what crap pot city do you live in? i've always encountered city ordinances stating that an inoperable and unlicensed vehicle can't be on the street, but you're getting dinged for having it in your driveway??!!!!!!
they were within their right to tow it while being on the street, that was illegal because it wasn't registered and they typically won't release a car from impound if it's not legal to drive. there lies your problem, you shouldn't have parked it on the street.
i'd go to the city, newspapers, tv stations through about this crap where you can't park a car, even if not licensed in your own driveway.
